Gary Barron Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 3, 2024.

Gary W. Barron, 70, of Chicago, IL, passed away on June 21, 2024, in Iron Mountain, MI. Born on March 2, 1954, in Chicago, IL, he was the son of the late George and Ruth Barron. Gary and Lorie enjoyed living in Paw Paw, Illinois for the last 18 years

Gary spent his final moments peacefully at the lake, a testament to his love for the outdoors. An avid fisherman and hunter, he cherished the time spent in nature with his friends. Gary also had a passion for hockey, playing well into his 40s, and dedicated many years to the As Good As Gold Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois, helping to find homes for countless dogs.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Lorie; sister, Sue (Ben); nieces, Erin, Lauren (Steven), and Angela; and great-niece and great-nephew, Emma and Dean. He was a cherished son-in-law to Kathleen. His pets, who were dear to him, will miss him greatly.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 18, 2024, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM at the Kane County Forest Preserve Fabyan Shelter 1, located at 1925 Batavia Avenue, Geneva, Illinois. Attendees are invited to enjoy some of Gary's favorite foods and share stories of their time spent with him.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Gary can be made to As Good As Gold at asgoodasgold.org, an organization that was close to his heart.

I am so sorry to hear about Gary´s passing and I wish I could have attended his service; Regardless I´ll be there in spirit... He will be missed for several reasons, but the memories I´ll cherish most is recalling how he was a good hunting buddy. We spent many hours hunting waterfowl. I´ll always remember his great duck calling skills as he enhanced our experience calling our quarry close to create bountiful harvests over the years. He would work his magic on his duck call, yell out `take `em boys,´ and we would oblige accordingly. Thanks for the wonderful memories, Gary!

Your old buddy,
Hopper

My favorite memory of Gary is when he and Lorie had their wedding. It was so much fun to join them virtually and share the special moment. Gary was so sweet and cheerful. I never got to meet him in person, but I know he was a wonderful man.
